Slay the energy vampires in your home

Even when these appliances are off, they're using energy.

"Vampire" appliances use electricity even when they are "off" by going into standby mode.
According to the Department of Energy, vampire appliances and electronics account for 10% of energy used in an average home. When you include all homes in the U.S., that totals about 52 billion kWh per year or about 26 average-size power plants.
